The other doors in the room correspond to the other doors that were above. There are four doors in the room. Three that lead to elevators, including the one that the group came from, and one other door that is locked and reinforced that leads presumably into the dungeon.

‘The Dwarf should stay ready?’, thought Saeth. ‘What about me, caught in this underground pit. I’m not worth being ready?’ Thinking the better of opening her mouth, she readied her daggers alongside Feldard’s picture of vigilence, ready to show them who knew her stuff in a fight.

Feldard moved forward to inspect the patch of stonework. That the discoloured stone was a trigger of some sort was obvious.. but to what exactly was something the dwarf was studying the engineering of it to determine. Was it a trap or a hidden means of opening something? Feldard scratched at his beard as he looked over the discoloured stone and then the walls around, the floor and then peering up towards the ceiling. Traps were more Nicolai’s trade but some where not beyond the knowledge of an engineer such as himself.

Miklos breathlessly followed after the much fitter Nicolai wondering what all the hurry was suddenly about. Appearing at the passageway he noticed the note left by Maruc. He scanned it and spent a few moments studying the door mechanism and entered the dungeon.

Thinking aloud he said, “I wonder why he went to such lengths to conceal his prisoners? Perhaps they are important?”
